the "history" of my char longs from sword n board until i reached a point in act 2 inferno where i simply couldn't go on anymore. i levelled a few chars, killed diablo with my monk and after that i pulled my barbarian back into active duty. i chose him to be my first paragon 100 char and teamed up with my demon hunter gf.
i first specced him into rend/bloodlust with rare 2h maces and switched to a hota/smash / rend/bloodlust spec later on. i piled legendaries and set items upon each other and simply don't have any options left to upgrade my damage without destroying a bonus here or losing vital stats there.
my echoing fury was the only upgrade i found in my stash and the fear proc haunts me ever since. i can't even find a decent weapon (budget of about 18-25m) on the auction house to buy something which increases my damage and still is an axe or mace.
maybe some of my choices talent- or gearwise are bad, i would be happy if you could point it out to me.
thanks in advance!
edit: oh, i run mp2 for levelling paragon and do the ubers on mp6-8 most of the time. but my playtime is 95% dedicated to paragon levelling.
IMO, you have a lot of possible upgrades but it's a bit of a process because of the way your ehp overly relies on your blackthorns, which in my opinion is what you should be working towards replacing.
Before even worrying about gear I'd lose that EF, 19.9% fear is 0.1 shy of the worst possible roll and it has nothing else going for it either. I'm not sure about EU prices but before my current EF I had a 1276dps EF with 11.8% fear which cost less then 10 mil, think i paid 6 actually. it didn't have CD but the high dps makes up for it and the fear was low enough to not be annoying.
On other areas I would first;
- Try to replace the Unity with one with vit or all res, or a avg dmg litany/well rolled rare ring.
- find IK gloves with 10 crit and vit.
Second;
- replace the fire walkers with ice climbers, and pants with Str or vit rolled inna's for the AS/MS.
Third;
- Replace the chest with an IK with 800+ armor and 275+ total primaries.
- get an ammy with higher crit.
so far, i upgraded my IK irons, invested in a temperance + ice climbers combo and found a new amulet which gave me all in all about 15-20k dps.
i can't seem to find anything which pushes my attack speed and which doesn't cost millions of gold. there doesn't seem to be affordable weapons in the euro auction house which are axes or maces and have 1.300+ dps, let alone decent and affordable ones with 1.200+ dps. most of them are around 1.150 dps, which doesn't seem like a big upgrade for the prices asked.
is the attack speed in the character sheet influenced by the speed of the OH weapon? and what is the minimum dps requirement of the OH weapon? i often came across "dream stats" on one handed weapons, which only had 300-400 dps.
i will look for a few upgrades based on your answers so far, which are much appreciated!
oh, some additions things i'd like to mention: since i'm running with my gf, we run back a few times and loot many items. my wotb can't even be anywhere near 100%. it sure is nice to get the most out of it though, so it should remain as a goal.
